The Tetragnatha montana is the only species where the female has a small tooth near the root of its mouth parts (chelicerae). The rear section of the females’ body (opisthosoma) is a shiny silvery white colour on the upperside. In the middle is the characteristic leaf-like marking (folium).

...the middle is the characteristic leaf-like marking (folium). It is composed of a white surrounding area against the broad and clearly visible, greenish-brown or brownish-gold coloured band with a fine dark network of lines on the surface. A shiny silver-whitish area can be on its front section. The folium in space is limited by deep waves with narrow dark edges which can be golden , bronze or brownish in colour. The underside of the opisthosoma is dark brown and shiny silver with two narrow bands running lengthwise, which stop at the spider’s silk-spinning organ (spinneret).

The hindwings are greyish-brown with dark edges. The silver Y has a very long proboscis and can suck nectar out from deep flower calyx. The caterpillars, which are up to 25 mm in length, are light green and have a pattern of fine bright lines on their back.
